In my new community evangelist role, I find myself frequently recommending that someone check out REALbasic. Frequently someone else will also recommend taking a look at Borland CodeGear Delphi. I’ve never used Delphi myself, but I always liked working with Pascal back in the day. So I’ve decided to check out Delphi by installing the free Turbo Delphi Explorer product. I’m not going to write elaborate blog posts about this process, but I will Twitter about my experience with it. My initial reaction is that it is big: 230MB just for the “prerequisites” and another 330MB for Turbo Delphi Explorer itself.
